After penning 12 songs The Bled entered the studio in March `07 with producer Brian McTernan (Converge, Strike Anywhere, Thrice) in Baltimore, MD, where they spent six and a half weeks tracking a total of 14 songs that were eventually reduced to the 11 charging, compelling tracks that compose Silent Treatment. Encouraged by the results of friends' bands' work with McTernan, The Bled elected to take advantage of the producer's skills and positive work ethic in the studio.
